    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    Hi ! Where did you find it? Check the geological map of your area and it will tell you what kind of rock and how old they are (jurassic, cretaceous...). Then check how many millions years this period happened. From your pic this is some kind of limestone that sedimented in the océan. It could be a few million years to hundreds million years !
